Kirchen in Fiesole

Religious Heritage

This collection highlights the ecclesiastical history of Fiesole and its surrounding hills. It includes the 11th-century Romanesque Cathedral of Saint Romulus and the Badia Fiesolana, a former cathedral with a distinct striped marble facade. The list features Dominican convents where artists like Fra Angelico worked, alongside rural Romanesque parish churches in Ontignano and Vincigliata. These sites preserve Renaissance frescoes, stone carvings from the local scalpellini tradition, and architectural styles ranging from early medieval foundations to 20th-century additions.
